C17th Arctic whaling
This week (W/C 15/10/12) Jill's and Colin's teams are working on a case involving a failed whaling adventure to the Arctic Ocean ("Batson against Goslin and others")
Jill and Colin would like to encourage their team members to share quotes, and to explore places, people and activities mentioned in the pages they are transcribing.
We plan to publish a blog article on the case, placing it in a broader context of the whaling fisheries off Spitzbergen in the 1650s. (The first thing to not is that C17th "Greeneland" is what we now call "Spitzbergen")
Please use the link below to get to a dedicated page on C17th Arctic whaling, where we would like you to share material
C17th whaling ships, boats ("shallops") and their prey
